The whole world.

All before my eyes.

Show it to me.

Well, the world?

【When you think of this world, what is the first thing that comes to mind?】

A nice yet annoying male voice sounded in a trance.

here we go again.

He shook his mind, threw away the boring words, and continued to feel the magical state of this moment.

Of course, this is far from enough...

He needs more, needs to reach the highest place in his dream...

So he started to rise just like before.

And this time.

Nothing can stop him...

Touch that final step.

With a thought in his mind, he raised his head slightly.

ah.

He let out a sigh of contentment.

Yes, it's still that dark and silent void.

It appeared in front of him again.

He could see clearly that what was shown to him in the void was still the mysterious gray mist, flowing in the distance, surging towards him in the endless white light.

It was as if the gray mist was conscious and opened its arms towards him.

Like the most formal invitation.

call.

He continued to rise, feeling more and more wonderful omnipotence and omniscience, while looking at the gray fog that continued to spread toward him, he felt reassured.

That's the call.

In that gray mist, something... was calling him, longing for his arrival.

"Come……"

In a daze, he even felt a faint calling coming from the mist.

"Together……"

yes.

A familiar desire and impulse developed.

He felt that in that gray mist, there was something he wanted most, was most kind, and was closest to him.

come.

He rose faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the strange dark void, and also getting closer to the endless flowing gray mist stained with white light.

come!

He could barely hold back his roar.

Come on, come on, let me enter that void...

Encountered that gray fog...

Only in this way.

Only in this way……

Only then can I be more perfect.

Only then can we truly own this world.

world?

His upward momentum suddenly stopped.

[The world? It’s probably all human beings, Asheida, in your era, when the empire and the magic tower were still there... What was the world like?] The echoes of the past came like a whisper.

Ahhhhh!

It’s that damn drake voice again!

No!

Get away...

Get out of here!

[I guess, there’s not much of a difference, right? After all, for us, the world is just a small part of our cognition... It’s probably where we are, and everyone we know, and what they say,

In our eyes, the world around us... We think we see the world, but in fact, what we see is just our own retinas.]

He is no longer rising.

No no no!

He roared in pain, and his head began to hurt.

This again!

Duck voice!

It's it again! It's preventing him from continuing...

He swore that he would wait until he reached the top, wait until he reached perfection, wait until he was omniscient and omnipotent...

He must tear the owner of the drake voice to pieces! Crush! Explode!

Smash him into the smallest and most insignificant dust...

Let this insignificant existence block your great progress...

Bear the most terrifying, painful, and unimaginable ultimate punishment in the world!

Even if he wants to destroy the world, even if it means his own demise, even if the end of all things is imminent, he still wants that irredeemable drake voice to pay the heaviest and unbearable price!

Ahhhh!

[Are you leaving, Aixida? Is get out of class over? Aixida? Sir? Aixida is little...ahem, little, little puppy? Little Clumsy?]

[Phew, it looks like he’s really gone, what the hell is this...why don’t you change your name to Bruce Wayne...]

[Huh, what is the world? You may not know... But in those strange memories, what I have to do is to look at the world from another angle... to discover problems that we have never discovered, to doubt

Those principles that are correct by default, to break the external shackles that you are in without knowing it...]

[This is not an easy thing, just like Plato said, once you walk out of the cave and see the sun... Huh, huh...]

[We used to laugh at those chuunibyou in anime... But sometimes, when you observe and examine the world from an angle that other people are not aware of again and again, you will find...]

[Maybe, maybe it’s really not me who is wrong...]

【But this world.】

【Right...Humph, Lao Ma, what do you think?】

His head hurt more and more.

Naaaah!

Damn it, don't, don't fucking get in my way!

I need it……

I need that void, that gray mist...

I need to rise!

I need to have it!

I need this world!

The next moment, Thales woke up painfully like a person recovering from drowning!

"boom!"

A strange and huge thunderclap.

Ahhhh!

how……

Thales gasped for air and looked around...

He was confused for a few seconds and felt as if he had forgotten something again.

Suddenly I felt like I was falling!
To be continued...
